| 256464 | 2004-07-30 04:09:00 | This lady is an agent I suppose. She is a chartered accountant she does the invoices and the end of the year thing accountants do. Her only advice every year is you are too honest and paying too much tax. Someone has to support people like my jerk next door neigbour who is on sickness benefit but plays rugby including practices wed night. I said last week "hey fat @#$% why dont you go down to Bay of Plenty and help with the flooding". The fat @#$% wouldnt even reply although not suprising as I call him fat @#$% to his face. Thanks for the replies but excel and access wont cut, it excel wont bring up a database and access wont calculate properly. tedheath |

| 256465 | 2004-07-30 11:17:00 | Hi. I see a few comments about price, overkills, etc. I note your required use as same as my application, I have found Quickbooks incredibly easy to use and set up for an engineering business, invoicing, inventory, everything you could want, but you can easily control what you want it to do, everything is drop down menu's point and click etc, the new versions are getting up in price but it appears you won't need a network capable package, why not try for an older version second hand on "trade me", or somewhere like that, for a small business I would highly recommend it. | j.w.knowles (3251) | ||
| 256466 | 2004-07-30 12:02:00 | well maybe the fat @#$% can come up with a solution for you. You know how you have all the answers abnd he is just sitting around on his fat@#$%^&*(. You need to take a walk in his shoes buddy, all the people here are coming up with ideas for you to save money and you are slagging this guy off. Get out of town! |

| 256468 | 2004-07-30 13:41:00 | > You need to take a walk in his shoes buddy Yes, it is fair to say that we all criticise others without always knowing what they suffer. Nevertheless, Ted is the man on the ground, and if he says the slob is going to rugby practice, that is good enough for me. As to your question Ted, I do not have an answer. But your needs seem fairly classic for many small businesses and I am sure there is an application out there. I'll ask my accountant although I suspect he will immediately suggest MYOB or Cashmanager. |

| 256469 | 2004-07-30 14:01:00 | Ted, I would swing the way of one of the off the shelf programmes that has invoicing, inventory, and back order. eg, MYOB, Quicken (QuickBooks when I used it) or something similar. Most of them are mudular so you just pick up the modules you need. You'll also find it will save on the cost of having your accountant/tax agent inputing the invoices and doing the taxes, she'll be able to bring up reports, journels, etc, that you don't have to bother with if you don't want to. One other suggestion is to wait for our own Robo to spot the thread. He's the guy with accounting experience and the one that reviews this type of software, think he's also written a book for small business accounting. Don't piss around with excel and access unless you want to get your hands dirty and put your trust in the stability of the same software that a bunch of researchers did recently. Cheers Murray P |

| 256471 | 2004-08-01 00:09:00 | I think this could be written in C or C++, There is only one thing that worries me, I can not print the work out to a modern printer, but all is not lost, The program could just send the invoice off to a TXT file and use that TXT file to print, email or fax someone. drop me phone call if you like 5247505 |

| 256472 | 2004-08-01 11:28:00 | Thanks for the replies what is c+++? I downloaded quickbook from pcworld cd jun 2003. Couldnt get invoicing to work. If quickbooks is the best I would hate to see the others. I still dont know what do next other than buy MS Access from trademe and design an invoice with that. All I want is to enter part numbers and price in database then type in a partnumber on my invoice and up sprongs the description and price. Then I add quantity and it calculates the price, probaly a calc for gestapo and a calc for discount for my nice customers. There must be something out there that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. thanks for help so far tedheath |
